making plans for change...

This week has been crazy busy with making plans. We are about halfway through our school evaluations to creat Nate's IEP. We took Nate to what will be his new classroom so he could meet his new teacher. I think she is great. It takes more than just great teaching skills- special needs teachers have the BIGGEST hearts. I was amazed watching all that she undertakes on a daily basis. Wow. We are very comforatable sending him there- and we are prepared for the incredibly hard first few months until a routine is established. He will be going 4 days a week for appx 2.5 hours. We also got to meet a little boy who will be one of Nate's 4 classmates next year. He appeared to be at approximately the same "level" as Nate, but he was verbal and of course Nate, is not. That is going to account for 90% of the frustration I am sure...

We are trudging ahead with Nate's ABA setup....and I do mean trudging. It is slow going trying to get everything up and running. Our students are hanging in there with us so far though, so that is a plus.

We are still trying to sort out our ST and OT options for Summer and into Fall. Nate won't have a free minute, poor guy. Let's hope we are making the right decisions for our little guy.
